Internet sale website Woot! bought by Amazon, what’s next?

Adding to Seattle’s ever-growing e-commerce nexus, Amazon’s made another big purchase in the realm of internet shopping: woot.com

Based out of Carrollton, Texas, Woot! is an online store that typically sells one item per day at a reduced price. At times the website will go into Woot-off mode, a firesale of various items over an unannounced period of time.

Though outside of Amazon’s typically mainstream customer base, Woot! reels in another large chunk of the Internet marketplace. Woot!, with its extensive connections in back-end sales, was already reportedly helping Amazon with it’s Gold Box promotions.

Valleywag reported back in January that Amazon invested a $4 million dollar stake in the website, which gets 250,000 pages views within the first three minutes of new items posting at midnight.

Holy crap! Woot has signed an agreement with Amazon – yes, the Amazon – to become an independent subsidiary of the ecommerce colossus. Woot HQ will remain in Carrollton, Texas, and will operate as autonomously as other Amazon companies like Zappos and Audible. More details forthcoming after we pick our eyeballs up off of the floor. Anybody see where Lefty rolled off to?

A spokesperson refused to release specifics of the agreement or the price.
